The 33-year-old Glanton has fought all over the world and was last in the ring with Chris Billam-Smith of the United Kingdom, aka CBS. CBS is a former world titlist who suffered a cut against Glanton but was still able to get the win in a close decision victory.

Glanton will now face another Britisher who is best known in the United States as the former opponent of Saul" Canelo” Alvarez. Glanton has appeared on ProBox TV as well.

"I'm coming to Lagos to settle the score with Rocky Fielding. Our styles guarantee fireworks, and I'm ready to prove I belong at the top of the cruiserweight division. This fight is my chance to show the world what I'm capable of,” Glanton said in a statement announcing the fight.

In the co-main event, former IBF World Champion Richard Commey (30-5-1, 27 KOs), who fought losing efforts to Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez, will take on Ray Seitzhanov (13-1, 9 KOs). It could be a comeback for Commey or a coming-out party for the 26-year-old Seitzhanov from Kazakhstan. Seitzhanov brings a four-fight knockout streak into this match.
